I, Gurnrin Industry 
A. Dovol opnont in G c:-icrnl 

One of the- ra-iin ohf.rr.ctcristies of Gcri.ioai industry is the un- 
pnrollclud deforce of conccntro.tivon in the form of trusts one! combines. 
These f orms o..ro. doubtless not mure mitivo to Gormony then to uny 
other industriol cjuntry, but there they hove cxccpticnr.lly flourished. 
The economic '•.nci hist.>ricO;l, ror.sons. for this hnvo been the subject 
of many studies: the l:ito date at which the c-,'untry became in¬ 
dustrially orfy'nized, tlic -iisproportionately heavy investment in 
''fixed c?ipital required for modern mass productioJi, the interplay 
of political and economic forces in the period between the Fr'onco- 
Prussirji T.'ar raid T.’orid T.ar I, ”rationaliz:ition'' after the inflation 
and lurinr; the Dopr^^ssion, support jf the courts, and various other 
reasons. The important thinp/is that "bif^ness” 'iid monopoly arc 
accepted in Gornooiy by business, officialdom, labor, and namorcus 
economic authorities, as the normal, "rational” development, In 
the past there, were certain counter-influences to this attitude. 

Under Nation.al Cocialisn, restraints were cast off. In an economy 
(geared to the requi rremonts of total w'^r, monopoly ind bigness h.ovc 
. been encour''.,rod, ai led, '.nd finally ruthlessly enforced. 

The legal forms in vdiioh German indrustry is organized arc: 

(a) the pers nr.l firm (Einzelfiri.ia) j (b) the ordinary personal- 
liability partne^rship (offline lE'ndclsgesellschaft); (o) the limited 
. partnership (Kom3.r.nditgesollschaPb) • (d) the limited liability 
company (Goscllsclmaft nit boschre.cnktcr Ilaftung); and the stock 
Gor;ejretion (idctiongcscllschaft) , There are* certain other fon.is 
also, but those mentioned are the principal ones. Each of them 
may be employed r.s a’ holding co:.ipany for -jthcr onturprisos. In 
addition, the conpanies nay be bound together by contractual relaticn- 
ships, of v/hich one in particular, the Intorcsson ren einschaft (pooling 
of intorcsts), .amoeints almost to a fusi n, bound together under 
hoi ling-conp;onios or by Intoressengemeinsch aften , a nui-foer of 
enterprises m-ay be built up to form horizontal c mibines ("concerns") 
of the same type interests, or vertical oombinos of dependent 
interests, suoh as Ccalr--Iran Oro—Steel—Machinery, In 1930 
it ■>./:is estimated tho.t Xour-fifths of Ger'v.ny’s total oapit.'.l invest¬ 
ment w'.s in one ^orm or another connected T-dth combines (in 
konzcrnmacssiger Bindimg). Of the total capital, 50 percent w.s 
estimated to be in the h^nds of corporations, lir.utod liability 
ccmpanicG, an-l the likej 12 percent in official hands; 10 percent 
f'-roign-hold, and 28 percent in the ho-nds >f banks and small holders. 
Corporati'ns, to the nui.iber ;f 10,970, had a total stock capit;-.l of 
24.19'billiori RII. Of this nur.-iber, 5,615 o .-rp orations with a stock 
capital of 18 billion RII (75 percent) were held by 924 other corpo¬ 
rations wliich had a stock c'-.-pit:.l of 14,2 billion lUl, In other v/ords, 
less than 10 oorcent of the corporations cmatrolled besides thuir ovm 
capito.l oa'er tw^-thirds of the rest, of German -stock-caTlital The 
progress of capital cunci_ntriition under National Socialism erm be 
gauged from the f dlov/ing figures on stock corper-.tions. 2

These figures tell a simple story. There are fevjer corpor¬ 
ations every year, but greater accumulations^ of capii>al in those 
that remain. There are fe\ier small corporations, and an increas 
ing number of large corporations i/m-th capital over 5 milli^ it.. 

In'connection with the 1936 figures, the ^£tejU_jtod£ch^ points 
out ^ohat 3,448 corporations with stock capital of^lo.383 billion 
W (over three-fourths) were held by 881 corporations with a 
stock capital of 12,l69 billion And of the 381 corporations, 

425 were partly held by other corporations and an additional 2,8 
were subject to the control or influence of other undertaKings, 
the state, or foreign concerns. 


■Beyond the natural impetus of business toward expansion 
of production facilities and concentration of capital, certain 
factors should be mentioned as especial];/ operative under Pational 
Socialism. "Aryanization,” the Germanicizing cl all European 
industry, labor mobilization, the officially san®tioned "combing- 
out" of small business, and self-financing by the .permitted^ 
accumulation of enormous reserves, are the Kazis’ own crntributions 


Jewish holdings vjere not stronp-; in heavy industry: they 
were found in the banking field; on the frinr:e of iieav;/ industry 
in old-established machinery esid metal-viornin,^ or metal-dealing 
firms; on the fringe of the CiiCi iical industry in tiie cosiuctics, 
cleaning-fluids and soaps, paints an(i d^^es brancnes; and in the 
leather, shoe, and garment trades. The Jews were eliminated 
contractually, illegally, or by statute. But far from benefiting 
the German middle classes, Aryanization chiefly served the inter¬ 
ests of the giant enterprises, which used the opportunity to 
'round-off and extend’ tlieir holdings by buying out Jewish owners. 
Heavy industry extended more than ever into the banking, field. 

The steel interests acquired the remaining machinery and metal¬ 
dealing firms which had formerly been outsit.e their hands. The 


1. Kartell Rundschau (1937), p. 415. in this note, mention is ; 

made that foreign stock-holdings in German «orporations i 

ciiiiounted to 1.226 billion ml (67 per cent), chiefly concen- ) 
trated in the fields of chvmiicals, textiles, electrotechnical 
equipment, machines and automobiles. The USA had the largest 
portion, with 28^ mill. liii (cheLiical and oil, 86 mill.; 
automobiles, 77 mill.; electrotechnical, 30 mill.; banks and ^ 
insurance, 24 mill.). Holland follo^jed, iidth 249 iidll. | 

(textiles, 82 mill.; chemicals, 77 i-iill.; finance, 28 lAill.). 

^Switzerland, v;ith 175 mill, (public utilities). Belgiuiu, 
with 125 Liill. (public utilities and chei.iicals). fzecho- 
slovakia, with 112 mill, (lignite, 94 mill.). England, with 
75 mill, (chemicals, 25 mill.). Luxembourg, with 66 mill, 
(electrotechnical and steel). /'

big chemical combines took over the romo-ining small industries 
v;hich had been d(3pendent on them, though financially uncon¬ 
nected. The leather and shoe trade, from an industry of niediuixi- 
sized enterprise-G, 

witnessed the level 'pment of larpc combines 

r.s in hcriw iruiustry. 

B; The Giant Enterprises 

A case history of the progress of concentration and nic- 
nopoly is supplied by the ninety-three concerns described in 
Appendix A. Those are the giants in tlie industrial field, which 
either enjoy complete monopoly or share it with a fevj other con¬ 
cerns. They constitute the fo’undations of Gen-ian industry, 
dominating and setting the teiapo of all Genaan business. 

Coal is thv. basv.. There are nine big companies having 
stock capitalizations of over 35 mill. l-u,. n more accurate 
picture is supplied by the quotas of tliv. Coal Syndicate, from 
vdiich it appears that cocil means, first, the Steel Trust. ne:xt 
the state mines, then Flick, hrU'Dp and tho other steel companies, 

I, G. Farpen and th*) big potash companies, a public utility 
hol'iing company, and for an insignificant portion a few inde¬ 
pendent coal companios. In th-j Sil'.isia.n. coc.l fields, coal means 
the S chaffgotsch concern,, md a fowj ethers. 

In iron and steel there are the Steel Trust, the state 
concerns, and a round dozun othvjr concerns, ea.ch v. small umpire 
in itself, owning ore fields, coal mines, steel mills, machine 
factories, trade compa.nius, brinks, shipping cwmpanies,. armamiurit 
plants, and connect<;d ;dth each other by interlocking director¬ 
ates, connected v;ith I. G. Farbo.n and.the pota.sh concerns, on- 
nectod with Siemens and A.‘3G in th^.; electrotechnical field. 

Electrical equipment mo<'ins either Siemens or AiJG, while public 
utility holding compt.nies' aru associated with Siemens ^ind a..iG, 
the state, rjid three oth-.r concerns connected with steel or 
the banks. 

Chemicals ciro largely synonymous -v/ith I.G. Farben, three 
potc’.sh concerns, Solvay soda, and Schuring. Other cheiiiical 
concerns are limited to specialized fields. Tile Chemical com¬ 
bines’ have strong connections with the lignite, artificis.l 
fuel, and petrolcur.i companies, of which theru are some fifteen 
large enterprises. There is also a connection between the 
chemical interests c'.nd the metal (non-ferruginous) combines. 

Two of the big metal cornpa.nies are close to I. G. Farben and 
two are state-owned. These concerns i ith tiire^ zinc companies, 
h/ive almost a monopoly on the fabrication of zinc, alLUiinum, 
precious mcta.ls and import''nt alloys. 

In the machinvjry and met.-.l-parts field there is still 
room for ma.ny small and medium-sized firms. Thu field is 
nevertheless, domin'-ted by some seven big concerns and the 
subsidiari-ss of Siemens and AEG, the stoel companies, rnd the 
Goring combine. Four of thu seven mentioned are subsidiaries 
of stool companios. Five compt-inius account for 80 p^r cent 
of all automobiles, trucks, automobile motors r.nd p^.rts 
produced. 

Besides I. G/ Farben thervj care-four big concerns in the 
cell-v;ool industry, ■all^''pp<.rently more dr less under the con¬ 
trol of one person, ■ In each of the foll«'7dng fields on,e giant 
enterprise overtops all others; airplanes, rubber, paper, 
brevi?eries, margarine, cigarettes, coffee substitutes, and in¬ 
land shipping.

C. Characteristics of the Rif( Concerns 

There are certain characteristics of the big concerns 
which need to be noted. One is the very great e:itent of inter¬ 
connection among them. The steel companies are in coa.l, in 
public utilities, in lignite, in chemicals, and in the banks, 
i. G. Farben is in steel and coal and the banks. The electrical 
equipment concerns ar'e in steel, in public utilities, in blie 
banks. Inland shipping will be found under the control, of a_ 
state coal company, the margarine trust, and coal and steeu 
interests. This inter-penetration is accomplished by stock¬ 
holdings and interlocking directorates. Of the 93 big con¬ 
cerns given in the Appendix, the nai'.ies of the i/ianagement and 
directors were readily accessible for 75• Inspection of the 
names discloses that there were 249 interlocking directorates 
among the 75 companies. Two naji.es appear in 13 directorates, 
one in 11, two in 10, two in five in 8, nine in 7. sixteen 
in 6, twelve in five, twenty-seven in 4, fifty-one in 3^ and 
122 in 2 companies. In January 1944 it was estimated that 
from three-fourths to four-fifths of the companies having over 
30 mill. Ri 4 capital I'jere interconnected tlirough large, stock¬ 
holders, trusts, or holding companies.^ 

A second characteristic is the connection Y.dth the 
banks. The t’';;o directors whose nances appeared in thirteen 
of the big companies were the bankers Karl Kirmiich and Carl 
Goetz; banker Kurt v. Schroder vjas next. -On the boards of 
directors of the banks, however, the big industrialists re¬ 
appear—Krupp, Klockner, v. Siemens, Reemtsma, and the rest. 

A third characteristic is the connection ■■vdth the , 
state. This takes two forms: 'one, the state’s'descent into 
the sphere of private business; two, the state’s elevation 
-of industry into the sphere of o’ffi'cially recognized govern¬ 
ment. The state’s competition idth private industry is not 
confined to public utilities; it covers a large part of the 
banking field, extends to mining and the sale of coal, steel, 
machine shops, motor-manufacture, and other fields. At the 
top are the three giant holding companies VIAG, VEBAG, and 
the Goring combine. Descending.through sub—holding companies 
one arrives, e.g.,,at an Eisen -u. Metal l AG ovjned one-third 
by the state and the rest by Roesch and mannesmann. On the 
boards of directors from top to bottom representatives of 
private industry sit with representatives of the Reich: 

Krupp, on the board of VIAG;' two representatives of I. G. 

Farben and two from the banks, on the board of Rheiniaetall- 
Borsig , the big machinery and armaivients company now in the 
Goring combine. On the board of the Coal Syndicate Gilheli:i 
Tengelmann represents the state's i.iines and his brother 
Ernst TengeLaann the Flick combine. 

A major part of the regulation of the national econo¬ 
my is now accomplished througli what is ioiown as the "self- 
government" of industry.2 This includes, besides the Eco¬ 
nomic Chambers, (a) the Reichsv erein gungen , (b) the Economic 
Groups, and (c) the Rain Conmiittees and Industrial Rings. 

The Reichsvereinigunf^en and Groups arc the old cartels or 
new compulsory super-cartels \4iich have in many instances

superseded the old* Their executive personnel and their niea- 
bers remain the same. The Committees and ilings resemble 
special comr.iittees of a trade association. Their purpose is 
to unite members of the same industry (the Groups and Iteichs- 
vo reinigungen ) or in the various food and drink lines 
vereinigungen )^in .rder that the businessmen tnemselves may 
supervise the allocation of ra^v^ materials_, tlie parcelling out 
of contracts^ and the rationalization of production (Committees 
and Rings)* The process 'is not democratic. The heads are 
appointed by the governiaent from aiuong the big industrialists or 
from business figures vjho have distinguisiied themselves by their 
support of Nazism. Their edicts and regulations have the force 
of decrees. They possess a life and death control over business, 
vdiich can be enforced either indirectly, by shutting off ravv 
materials and public contracts, or directly, by the comb-out- 
cf small firms unable to meet the production pace of the big 
companies. 


■ Conclusion 

Eenind the present Genian state there exists ai.i organi¬ 
zation of trusts and coiabines largely’independent, more flexible, 
more permanent, more closely knit than official government it¬ 
self. It is in effect a second government. 

In July 1917 Crov;n Prance Rupert of Bavaria vjrote a 
letter to the Bavarian Prime minister Hertling in vvhich he 
stated: 


’’Heavy industry is no\\/ the dominant lorve in Gerraany. 

For the past ti^enty years the Vvhole foreign policy of 
the Reich has been carried on in the interests of the 
big industria.lists; the main consideration has not 
been the v;elfare of GerLian;/", but the profits which 
. those people were making or hoped to make.” 

If this statement has in any sense ceased to hold good under 
National Socialism, it is not because heav;/ industry has grovjn 
any less powerful, but because it found a partner in Nazism 
Y;hose interests coincided Avith its own. The nevj government 
meant a rearmament br'om and ;p'"iriterl the way tr'W^.rd the b--.nks r-uid 
factories of Austria, the i.ianufactures of Czechoslovakia, the 
coal and iron of Polish Silesia, the iron and steel of Lorraine, 
the oil of Roumania. He^ivy industry aided Hitler^ s rise to 
power, Heri-iann Schmiitz, the head of I. G. Farben, subsidized 
the movement ”in his private capacity,” while his hephew. 

Director Lax Ilgner, represented the Dye Trust in the Party; 
the Dergbau Ve^etn levied 50 pfennig on th^ts. c-olleot 
600,000 Rtl for the National Socialists in the 1930 elections; 
Fritz Thyssen, of the Steel Trust, estimated his personal con¬ 
tribution at one million it:, and the contributions collected 
by Hugenberg (Krupp and the Steel Trust) at about two Liillion 
Rli annually; banker Kurt v. Schroder acted as a go-between. 

V/lien the Party caiae into power the support of heavy industry 
was rewarded. As Genian armies advanced over Europe, '‘it 
: shared the spoil with its newest member, the 

Goring combine.

In this appendix a short account is given of.the big 
industrial concerns, ivith a note on certain banks v;hich have 
a particularly strong influence in lieavy industry.- Tlie pur¬ 
pose of the description is to indicate nhat the big coiupanies 
control and v;ho controls thea. , . 

The concerns selected vere idth a fei exceptions those 
having a stock capitalization of over 35 i^iillion itiu in 1939^ 
excluding banking and insurance institutions and the state— 
ovjned enterprises (except the Goring coabino, VIaG, VGBaG, and 
cert^dn of their subsidiaries), hdth the exceptions mentioned 
and a fen others, the selection includes practicall^T- all of 
the giant enterprises. The tno big ocean shipeing corporations, 
Hambur^aaerika and Norddeutsche Lloy d, n^ro oeiitted, as nell 
as Rheini sche ^'Johnstatten (housing developaait), K arstadt 
(dejTaidac'nT and'UFA fiLm. A Geraan corporation nhich 

had a stock capitalization of over 5 j*dllion Riu nas classified 
as "large.” In 1941 tliere nere 230 corporations in all fields 
nith a capitalization of over 20 million idi (89 nitii capitali¬ 
zations of over 50 million 111); in 1942, 260 corpor:dions in all 
fields vdth capitalizations of over 20 million Ia;.i ^107 vdth 
capitalizations of ov..r 50 million lli). 

It has been increasingly difficult since the outbreak of 
the i-^ar to sucure detailed information on German companies. 

Recent editions of the Han dbuch de_r deuts chen Aicti aigesellschaften 
are not accessible; corporations are no longer recuired to pub¬ 
lish an annual report; and since 1939 stock corporations have 
tended to reorganize as lindted liability companies, XMa thus 
avoiding public scrutiny of their operations. The stateieents and 
figures in the folloidng pages arc largely;- based on tlr^ 1939 edi¬ 
tion of the Handbuch , supplemented by such current information as 
is readily accessible, the Kartell euUndscha u notes, financial pages 
of tile Geriiian newspapers, special reports and the like. The de¬ 
scriptions given are intended to supply the main features of a 
pattern whicii iias reiiained essentially tCe seaie. The principal 
change, besides the increasing shift from tli^ corporate to the 
limited liability or partnership forni of organization is tiie hea-vy 
roca-oitalization tiiat continues to take place. The accumulation 
of reseicres has reached such enormous suias that compcuiy after 
company is recapitalizing e.t figures ten, tv;enty, said even sev¬ 
eral hundred percent higher. The result is that severcal more 
concerns will be-in the 3.5 million lue class, but the .r-.lative 
position of the concerns in tha,t class in the past will remain 
substantially the sm-ie.

Production of bitwiinous cor.l in Greater Germany (anthracite 
is of relatively less inportrjice) was estimated to be in thc- 
nei£;;hborhood, of 186.4 nnllion tons in 1938; 200 nillion tons in 
1940; 191,5 j.'iillion tons in 1941; 186 nillion tons in 1942. Host 
of this pa.sscd thro\i^,h the hands of the Rheinische-T'-'estfalische 
Coal Syndicate, which represented the Ruhr, Aachen, and Saar mines. 
Production was divided as follows in 1938 (million tons): 


Ruhr 

127,3 

Saar 

14,4 

Aachen 

7,7

In 1913 fifty percent of the coal production was accounted

Among the individual members of the German coal 
s^mdlcate the company stood in fifth place in 1939 vrith 
respect to its production quota (9,549,000 T)• An older 
Essener Steinkohlenbergvjerke had been merged with the 
Gelsenkirchoner Bergwerks AG in 1930. In 1933, when 
the latter company went into the new Steel Trust, the 
Essener company was revived to carry on a substantial part 
of Gelsenkirchoner Bergwerk’s mining-activity. The Essener 
company had in 1939 eight active coal mines, with coke plants, 
ammonia and benzol plants, refineries, Brikett factories 
etc'., and important share-holdings in a number of other mines 
and a coal-products chemical undertaking. 

The principal stockholder is the Flick group

The R-Vy Coal Syndicate is the management and sales

venture, it has a comparatively small stock capital (7 million RM), 
but possesses total assets of some 134 million RIvI representing 
its business facilities and substantial investments in transportati 
concerns and additional mine So The Coal Syndicate occupies a 
strategic place in German industry, v>?hich has enabled it upon 
occasion to exert a most pov/erful political influence. When 
the French occupied the Ruhr in 1923, their attempt to dominate 
the area by control of coal production was largely frustrated

Ruediger Schmidt, from Hcirpener Bergau , c. representative of Flick, 
has since been "made General Manager of the Syndicate in place of 
Janus, It thus appears that Goring and Flick have supplanted the 
Steel Trust in the control of Ruhr coal. Kellermanh's place as 
chairman of the board was taken by Kauert in 1942.

Tho GBrinp* concv^rn w:-is sot up in'1937, ns the official phrase 
ran, ’^to fulfil its tasks un ler the Four Year Plan”; or, as it was 
explained to finojici.al editors, for tho purpose of lovelopinF 
raar[^inal iron-ore fiel Is which under or binary circunstrjices vrcre 
not profitable to private in lustry—actually, to have substitute 
ore-fiolis rea’y in case Gemany shoul 1 be cut off by a war fron 
its nain sources in Frcnco and Sweden. The substitute source 
was at hani in certain or40 fields, alroa ly owned by Gernan steel 
interests. Tho lofcct of tho ore was not so nuch its low iron 
content as its ch-onical conpositi 'n, which necessitated expensive 
snoltinf^ an 1 refining processes. In a’idition, these ore fields v/dre 
not very fa.vorably loc.atod, so that ad.Iitional transportation 
costs, the problem of orpanizin^ a labor supply, an 1 other factors, 
had militated against their development by private industry. 

Private industry did not v/elcome the new industry. Starting 
off 'vd.th an initial stock-capital of 400,000,000 RM, it was the 
third largest trust in Europe, surpassed only by IG Farben and 
the Steel Trust. Its properties v/ere taken from private 
industry, and after the R eich had subscribed for a controlling • 

245 million Rid of the capital, private industry--mainly the 
other steel companies--was required to subscribe for the rest. 

The other steel companies'subscribed to shares in the amount of 
50 RIvI for each employee, without, however, obtaining any stock¬ 
holder representation for their investment. The private 
companies were forced to support a new rival, in a particularly 
favorable position when it came to absorbing properties that.the 
steel industry already owned, or to unloading properties that 
turned out to be undesirable. Actually the policy of the 
Goring circle has been characterize4 by willingness to deal 
vdth the steel interests, wdth the exception of Thyssen’s 
Steel Trust, the pov;er of which, in a sense. Goring has broken. 

The original corporation, Reichswerk e AG Erzb ergba u un d 
Eisenhutten ’’Hermann Goring”, commenced with the acquisition 
of the Saizgitter ore-fields. These were taken mainly from 
Vereinigte Stahl , Ilse d er Hutt e, and other concerns, v^^hich 
received stock in the nev; corporation in exchange, In connection 
vmth the ore-fields, iron vmrks v/ere constructed in the

jects were undertaKen, and v,'oih 'V'as started on tne construoi^3-on 
of a canal from the to trie vicinat/ ol the wonvS. 

In its second year, tire heijid_sweri_:^^^ began to acciuiro ..iaciiriie aiid 
laetal working concerns, added stone ou*...rraes and cla^^ diggings, 
and expanded into Austria. The iunortant ^.aacliinery ^ (arma^ients; 
concern of Khoinmetall—Bo rsig 'v.as aepuired in 193^ 
owner, the IUec¥f nrinoTiTy, hrupp). In 1939 the aeidi^sr-erne 
obtained from the Steel Trust and banns the 
in Austria (ore-diggings and steel mills), and a number of 
machinery concerns. In the same year it cicquired a coal basis 
from Flick (Esserger_ S^^ikolglejibe_r^^^^ and riaipoener). It 
also acquired the majority'lilte're'sT in Thyssen's igejlihjm _^gaa 
honig Lud wig. To these it added a big Danubian shipping concern, 
which possessed coal fields in rlungary. In fact, wherever the 
Reich's armies marched the Goring concern followed close behind, 
picking up mines, machine shops, motor works, fouirdries, steel 
mills, oil businesses, a.nd anything else useful. Soaie of its 
acquisitions have been by purchase fro..i the original o'viners, 
others by purchase from a "trustee" of former Jewish or enemy 
property. A considerable block is coaiposed of the Lorraj.ne 
steel mills at Hagendingen, Ha^^ingen, emd ^.ovei .-1 cos sling en, 
which had belonged to Tliyssen. 


In January 1941 it was announced that the ii.eichs;>erke 
had achieved its final form in an organization of four com¬ 
panies. At the top wjas a new;ly created holding company, 

AG Reichswe rke "Herma nn Goring ." Under this are: (1) the

Until World War I, Krupp overtopped all the other German 
steel concerns. The end of the war found Krupp faced with a 
difficult task of conversion to a peacetime basis and nevj 
competitors thr.t had arisen out of the speculative opportunities 
of the times. The principal figure in the nev; combines was 
Hugo Stinnes. The Stinnes combine before its crash in 1925 
represented the greatest finfinoial aggregation in Europe; 

In August 1920 -Stinnes brought together three large coal and 
steel companies to form the R hein-E lb e-Union . The throe 
companies were G elsenkirchen er BorgwerksAG, Deut sc h-Lux embur gi sche 
Bergwerks-u, H iltte n AG , and Bochu mer Vo r ein filr Bergbau und 
Gussstahlfabrikation . In December 1920 Stinnes persuaded the 
Siemens concern to join interests, and the name of the holding 
company was changed to '' Siemens-Rheinelbe-Schuckert-Union G mbH. 
Stinnes and Siemens cemented the relation vdth an exchange of 
130 million Rlvl par value of preferred stock. 

When the Stinnes Combine crashed in 1925, Siemens took 
back its stock, and a majority of the Deutsch - Lux stock fell 
into foreign hands, but the Rheinelbo Union still held together. 

In the following year three other groups joined v/ith Rhoinelbe, 
and from this combination the first Ve reinigte Stahl aTr^i^ 

The other groups were;(l) Thyssen, (sY the "PhoniV group, and 
(3) Rheini sche St ahlwerke, Albert Vogler, v^ho had been Stinnes’ 
right-hand man, vans a leading figure in Rheinelbe; Fritz 
Thyssen represented the Thyssen steel and con.1 companies; Otto 
Wolff had obtained majority control of Phonix and substantial 
interests in Rheinstahl (wlaich IG Farbon later acquired). The 
minority in Phonix was oivned by the Koln banking group of 
Saloman Oppenheim, and the Poensgens had long been associated 
with the management of the PhBnix mills. The assets brought 
into the Steel Trust and the percentages>'0‘f control are 
indicated in the accompanying ta.ble.

The Steel Trust figures ho.d invited several other concerns 
to join them, ICrupp declined but "remained friendly." Fried¬ 
rich Flick brought the Charlot t enhutte AG into the Steel Trust 
in July 1926, In 1927 the I nteressengemeinschaft of the old 
Rheinelbe units was supplanted by a merger of Deutsch-Lux and 
Dochumer into Golsonkirchener . During the next few years it 
appears that Flick greatly strengthened his position in the 
Steel Trust, v/hile the concern itself, after the depression 
set in, experienced serious difficulties and was obliged to 
undertake a seriesof complicated financial moves. In 1931 
the majority/- interest in GeXsenkirchener was sold to the 
Reich for a large sum in cash. In 1933 there was a reorgan¬ 
ization and from it the new Steel Trust emerged. The old 
Phonix companies v/ere merged into Gelsenkirchenor, the 
steel properties v;ore separated from coal and the latter con¬ 
centrated in Golsonkirchener , The Reich remained in the pic¬ 
ture as a majority shareholder of Gelsenkirchoner, though 
holding a minority position in the Steel Trust, until 1936, 

The Steel Trust at the tiao of its formation vaas re¬ 
puted to account for one-third to tvuo-fifths of total Gorman , 
heavy industrial capacity. It ■ ' comprised < ' a great coal 
mining company with four important groups of mines; a fuel and 
coal-products company; ore and iron-ore mines; nine great steel- 
mill companies; cloven metal-working plants; numerous sales 
companies; and stock-holdings in some fifty subsidiary and 
affiliated companies, embracing coal-mines, • gas'works, coal- 
tar raid other cheiaical-products plants, line stone and cement 
companies, machiTrt; o.nd metal companies, tugboat, transporta¬ 
tion, housing, and merchandising companies.

Since the war the Steel Trust has been the loser in an 
interesting struggle id-th the IJazis. The party ov/ed a great deal 
to Fritz Thyssen, whose financial support and influence vdth the 
big industrialists had boon vital in their acquisition of power. 
After the outbreak of the war, Thyssen repudiated Hitler and fl&dr. 
the country. In September 1941 he was turned over by Vichy to the 
Gestapo. It v/as reported that he had financed a plot of Gorman, 
officers,■twenty-six of whom were shot or committed suicide, who 
wore planning an anti-Iiitler military Putsch . Later reports 
have placed him in a concentration camp or living under surveillance 
near Berlin, 


The Thyssen propurties wore confiscated by the state. The 
family holding company, Thysse n & Co. A G, renamed Rheinisch- 
Westfa^eli^sclic Industrie-beteil igungen AG, ^ras takon over by the 
Goring combine. Properties T-hichT have not been taken over outright 
have been placed in the hands of^^the Hazi banker, 'Kurt v, Schroder','; 
as trustee, apparently for the Goring combine. Thyssen interests 
in Lorraine and other occupied areas have been confiscated by the 
Goring combine, and in the sharing of iron and steelspoils the 
private beneficiaries -have been Flick, Mannesmann,Klockner and 
Roechling, more than the Steel Trust. In the past, the leading 
influence in the Steel Trust was exerted by Thyssen, Voegler, ahd 
the Poensgens, with IG Farbon, Siemens, and the bankers in the 
background; at present the leading influence is probably exerted 
by von Schroeder, Flick, and the Poensgens, with IG Farben, Siemens, 
and the bankers in the background. Voegler is the new president 
of the board. ^

Loser, of the Dresdner Bank , and AEG. 

In April end December 1943 Krupp went through tv/o reorgani¬

and a number of new men were added to the dircctor.ate: Friedrich 
Janssen, Fritz Muller, Eduard- Houdremont. (Special De|)uty for 
Substitute Haterials in the Speer Ministry), Erich Muller, Walter 
Lwov^ski, Max Ihn, Karl Eborhardt, and H.C. Rademachcr. 


In December a more drastic reorganization took place at the 
instigation of Hitler. By resolution of the directors on 15 
December 1943, pursuant to a Fuhrer decree of 12 December, the 
corporation was transformed into a private f.amily firm. A 
special statute based on a Fuhrer decree of November 1943 regulates 
the future ownership end succession in the firm. The father. 

Dr. Gustav Krupp v. Bohlen u. Halbach, stopped aside to make 
way for his son Alfried as the future sole owner of the firm. 

Since the outbreak of the vaar Krupp has greatly strengthened [ 
its already strong coal position, Krupp formerly possessed four 
important coal mine companies, which not only took care of its own 
needs, but Y^hosc combined production was exceeded only by the 
Steel Trust mines, the state-owned mines, and the Flick mines in' 
1939. Subsequently Krupp has acquired the controlling interest j 
from Wintorshall in Lpthringcr Bergbau , one of the largest 
companies; also the Mont-Uenis mines "from Harpener (Flcik);

Hfjiiel Concern—Gutchoffn unr^shuette, Aktien f» Berg-ba u 
u, Huettenbetriob, Qbcrhausen 


The v/enlth of the Haniel fronily is based on (a) a coal trade 
and transportation enterprise (Franz Haniel & Cie, GmbH), and 
(b) the Gutehoffnunf;shuette' ' concern, one of the principal coal, 
iron and steel combines in Germany, in V\rhich the Haniels a.re the 
chief stockholders. 


The history of the stool works ^oos back to the middle of the 
18th century, to the founding of the St. Antonyhuette. This I 

property came into the possession of the Abbess and Princess of 
Essen in 1795, v;ho employed an Inspector Gottlob Jacobi as director, 
Jacobi developed the works very successfully, a.dding a neighboring 
mill,,the Eisenhuette Keu-Essen. A third mill in the neighborhood 
v/as the Gutehoffnungshuette, founded in 1782 vd.th the support of 
the Prussian authorities. The Gutehoffnungshuette prospered at 
first, but later fell into financial difficulties and cfime into 
the hands of the widovf Krupp in Essen, In 1808 Frau Krupp sold i 

the property to Heinrich Huyssen, who united it vdth St. Antony- M 

huette and Neu-Essen to form the raining company "Jpcobi, Hnniel | 

(?c Huyssen”, Friedrich Krupp worked vdth Jacobi a v^rhile, but | 

later Vvdthdrow to Ess^en. Upon the death of Jacobi in 1823 E'. Lueg j 
entered the firm. The technical management of the works until |j 

late in the century was in the hands of Jacobis and Luegs, In I 

1872 the Gutehoffnunshuetto was reorganized as a stock corporation, 
and in succeeding years acquired ore fields and begPvn the systematic' 
development of production and trade facilities into their present 
form. For a period after the first E'orld 'Jar the concern had a 
close connection with.Otto Uolff’s Phoenix mills, v/hich later ,! 

entered into the Steel Trust, and vdth AEG, During this period 
Gutehoffnungshuette also acquired the Masch inenfabrik Augsburg- 
Huernberg, the Maschinenfabrik Esslinge^n, and other important 
South German machine manufactures. 

The present concern is organized in the form of a holding ' 

company, Gutehoffnungshuet te, A ktienver ein, under vHiich is the I, 

principal producing company, Gutchoffnungshuette-Qber ho.usen, i' 

and a host of other iron and metal, coal, machinery, Tji’d trading 1 
enterprises. .The interests cover iron-foundry and rolling-mill 
plants, copper and cable works, the manufacture of rivets and | 

small steel products, Diesel motors, bridge construction, , 

locomotives and rails, carriages, pump^q,compressors, and similar 
products.

Otto Wolff Combine 

Otto Wolff, who died in the early part of^1940, \ms noted 
for having accomplished the unusual feat of building up a single 
trading company into a full-fledged industri&l combine.that was 
one of the most powerful in Germany. According to the last 
figures available, he was estimated to account for the production 
of around 600,000 tons of crudo iron, 1^200,000 tons of crude 
steel, 770,000,000 tons of zinc, and 40,000 tons of lead. The 
iron ^aid steel figures are roughly equivalent to that of the 
Hoesch combine; the zinc figures represent about 20 percent of 
the entire German output. 

The original Wolff enterprise was an iron-dealer's company 
in K3ln. This company, which had no particular significance 
before the World War, vms built up during the years 1914-18 by 
a thriving war-time trade and profits realized from supplying 
Krupp. Wolff emerged from this pc_;;*iod in a position to take 
p£\^]ft in the big speculative activities tnat developed in German 
industry at the close of the war. He acquired control of the 
Phoenix.steel works and of Mansfold copper, acquired substajitial 
Tntcore'sts in Rheinstahl and Veroin igt o Stahlwcrkc van dcr Zypen , 
and established a close connection with AEG. In 1925 Phoenix 
and van der Zypen were placed in the nevirly-formed Steel Trust 
pool',' and Wolff thereafter had a plaee in Voreinigto Stahlv/orko. 
Rheinstahl was subsequently sold to IG Farben. Wolff organized 
g ' ^Dcutsch-Russische Handels AG , part of v/hose capital was 
supplied by him and part by the Soviet government,’for trade with 
Russia. One of his most successful ventures was a Manohukuo 
business amounting to 2 million pounds. With the cash realized 
frosi .these transactions he set about building his own concern. 

With the help of the banks, Wolff purchased in 1926 a large 
block of stock from French shareholders v/hich gave him a 55 pcrceni 
interest in Heunkircher Eis'env/erk AG, v or m. Gebr. Stu mm , in the 
Saar; the Stumms retained a 45 percent interest. YV^olff also ac¬ 
quired a 15 percent interest (thereabout) in the Stumm fejnily 
concern, Gebr. Stu mm Gm bH. In 1934 Wolff obtained the majority 
interest in Stolbcrgor Z ink AG (from Compania Minora dc Espana^ 

Mans fold AG , and a subsidiary of the M et al 1 g e s c 11 s chaft) , sur^ 
rendering in exchange part of his Mansfold stock to Salzdotfurth. 

In 1936-38 he acquired Ei sen-u, Huettenwerke AG , Bochum, Eisen- 
hue t tenwerk T hale,'and Rasselstciner Eisenworksgesellschaft, 
Ncuvded, which have since been united in Eisen-u. Huettenwerke AG ^ 
Koln. Eisenhuettenwer k Thale is the largest enamel works in 

Germany. Shortly before the present war, Wolff joined vdth 
Felton and Guillcaumo in organizing a steel company in Bulgaria, 
Pirin AG ; established a connection vdth Motallochemia i n Hungary; 
and acquired Leobers dor fer Maschinenfabrik in Austria, After the 
occupation of Western Europe, the Wolff combine obtained an in¬ 
fluence over the Belgian concerns Ougrec Marihey and Vieillc 
Montagna , and acquired outright the Acicrics du Nord et de I'Est, 
which v/ere renamed Eisenhuetto Ueckingen , The Germans required 
AG des Altenbergs, a subsidiary of Vieille llontagnc , to enter into 
a joint management contract vdth Stolberger Zink,

Qtto Wolff CombinQ (cont’d) 

Politically Otto TTiolff early earned the favor of the Nazi 
Party by joining the consortium of heavy industrialists Vv-ho col¬ 
lected a fund for putting National Socialist finances into shape 
shortly before their accession to power. His directors, such as 
Puppe, of Ncunkirchor Eisonwork , Sodlaczek, of Eisonhuottomverk 
Thale, and Kr.lthoff, of Stol berger Zink, have alv/ays maintained 
good relations with the government and Party. Konsul Hommel, of 
the HommeIwerko GmbH (an important tool-machinery company^ 80 percent 
ovmed by 77olff), has been nejned Leader of the Working Community of 
the Armfunents Trade ( Arbeitsgemoinschaft Ruestung sh andel). 

The Otto Wolff parent company is OTTO TvOLFF KG^ Koeln, of which 
Rudolf Siedersleben is the present head. Cornelius Trimbom is on

This* iron and steel c^com, founded in the 15th century, 
came into the possession of the Stumra f-unily in 1803. In 1920, 
the French occupation of the Saar obliged the Stumms to reorganize 
the company as a stock corporation, and the majority ownership 
'was obtained by French interests. In 1926 the French holdings 
were purchased by Otto Wolff, who :became the majority stock¬ 
holder. The Stumm family company, in which Wolff also had an 
interest, is the other large stockholder. The company’s 
affiliates comprise a number of well-known metal-working concerns.

... ^ 

The Rocchling combino before l.'orld I Vvas built on the j 

foundation of the Voelklingen steel mills in the Saar and orc- 
deposit properties in Algringen, Longv/y, and Valloroy in France. . 
The loss of* the war,, had very serious consequences for the enter¬ 
prise. The French properties v/ere lost, majority control (60 
percent) of the Voolklingcn mills tempora.rily passed to the 
French (Soc, Lorraine, minierc et metallurgiquo), and the Roechling , 
family had to set about a thorough reorganization of tluAr German 
interests. This they proceeded to do by organizing new subsidiari^-s 
in some of which the Roechlings obtained clear majority interests, .| 
and b,y estcablishing connections v\Aith other German interests. They 
entered into an Into rt s sengemoinsc_hc;-ft v/ith Buderus, and with. 
Btidcrusoniiarrl ththcontrol of a small steel mill at Letzlar. They ' 
obtained control of Maximilianshuet to, v/hich wt^s later sold to 
Flick. During the 1^30'V the^g7e^:tly strengthened and con¬ 
solidated their position, emerging in control of one of the 
larP'Gst blocks of Saar-Lorraine heavy industry. )

Bdllestrem 

The Br.llestrom properties .arc administered by Nikolaus von 
Ballestrom, an Upper-Silesian count descended from Count Giovanni 
Baptiste Angelo Ballostrem di Castellengo, who served in 1742 in 
the army of Frederick the Great. Nikolaus v, Ballestrcm v/as 
trained as a banker and is a first-rate business man. Under 
the Nazis he has successfully reintegrated the family’s wide 
holdings which had been broken up by the Polish division of Upper 
Silesia. 

At the end of ITorld Vlar I the Ballostrem's principal 
properties were Oberschlcsische Hilttonwerke AG a nd Fried ensh utte 
Schlesjsche A G at Kattowitz. Falling on the Polish side of the 
border, Qber sc hlesi sche FriodenshUtte was brought under the 
control of the Polish Government, w’hich required the Ballestrcms 
to sell 52 percent of the stock to it. The tv/o Gleivdtz 
companies were merged into Veroinigt e Obersehlesische Huttenwerke AG ^ 
a company org nized in 1926, which thereafter was the main unit 
in the Ballestrem concern. Vereinigte Oberschlcsische had 
financial difficulties for a period,aduring v/hich the banks and 
the Prussian State acquired substantial interests in the company; 
this situation v/as remedied by 1937. The Prussian State sold 
its holdings to Ballcstrem and Krupp, and the company increased 
its stock capitalization from 5 million to 20 million Rli. 

Wnon the Nazis annexed Polish Upper Silesia, the former 
Ballestrera properties were expropriated from the Polos by the 
Ha upttreuhandstello Ost (’.Tinkler, Goring's agent) ^ wHJch then 
ceded 52 percent of the stock in Obersehlesische Friedenshut te 
to the Ballostrem’s Castcllonge- Abv/ chr . h'ith this came Frie'c^n- 
shu etto’s interests in Ferr um AG at Kattowitz (mrLj.), Maschinen - 
fab riken at Sosnov/itz find Dombrowfe (maj. ), f.nd Obe rsehlesische 
Lokomo l:ivwerke AG (26 percent, rest v/ith Henschel u. Sohn of 
Kassel^. Bi:ilcstrcm also recovered other former properties (coal 
and coke mines: Pokoj, Emineneiz, Friedenshutte , lTolfgang-V.'awel,

(AEG) Algemeine Elektricit at s -.Gesellsc haft —Berlin 

(Friedrich-Karl-Ufer 2/4,' Berlin NW 40) 

AEG under an earlier name was orgejiized in 1883 as an 
affiliate of the Compagnie Continentale Edison in Paris, 

This connection was severed in 1887 when the company acquired 
ownership of the Edison patents—a co-ownership with the same 
rights and shares as Siemens & Halske , The arrangement v/ith 
Siemens & Halske vms dissolved in 1894, Since that time AEG’s 
history has been characterized by three prominent traits; its 
steady expansion through all the fields of manufacture having 
any connection with electrical equipment; its agreements und 
common investments with Siemens in spheres in which the tw:o 
concerns had a common interest, such as electric light bulbs 
(Osram GmbH) or railway signals ( Vereini^te Eisenbahn-Signalwerk e 
GmbH ) ;iits systematic establishment of connections with the 
iron and other metal interests in order to secure its raw 
material basis. In the latter respect also the parallelism 
with Siemens is apparent. Thus in 1921 AEG took onto its board 
of directors Otto Wol^f and Fahrenhopt as a menns of strengthening 
its relations with Phonix AG . (one of the principal members of 
the later steel trust)'—a de'velopment which at the time was con¬ 
sidered parallel mth Siemens and Schuckert’s connection with 
the Rheinelbe-Union (The Stinnes combine, another principal 
member of the steel trust). 

AEG's ovm field of manufacture includes cables, generators, 
turbines, transformers, pipes, aluminum and copper products, 
telephone and wireless equipment. Its affiliates manufacture 
power-works equipment, wireless equipment, automobiles, paper, 
glass, electric lamp bulbs, copper, porcelain, talking-film 
equipment, rtiilway equipment, locomotives, typewriters and office 
machines. AEG also has investments in public utilities and 
foreign pov/er developments. 

The corporation's principal stockholders at the outbreak 
of the war were International General Electric Company, New York, 
(about 25 percent) and Gesellschaft fur elektrische Untermehmungen 
AG (about 25 percent).

This directorate is made up of bankers, steel figures 
( Mannesmann , Steel Trust, KJupp , Gutehoffnung ), and repre¬ 
sentatives of the powerful publie-utility holding company, 
Gesfurel, Kurt Schmitt, chairman of the boad, is also a 
director of Dessauer Gas , 

Essener Steinkohl (Flick), and Allianz insurances. 

The most important figure in the company is Hermann 
Bucher, Bucher started out in the German Foreign Service, 

During the World War, from 1915 to 1918, he v/as the German 
representative in the Turkish Ministry for Trade and Agri¬ 
culture, After the ¥;ar he became a member of the managing 
board of the Reich Union of German Industry, later acted 
as an economic adviser to I G Farbon, Under the Weimar Republic, 
Bucher was also an influential member of the National Economic 
Council. In, 1928 he was brought onto the board of AEG, The 
fortunes of the company were at a lov/ ebb; it had never quite 
succeeded in satisfactorily reestablishing its financial posi¬ 
tion during tiie post-war period; it had fallen badly behind 
its competitor, Siemens . Bucher freed th9 :■ company of burden¬ 
some and unnecessary connections, paid off long standing debts, 
accumulated nevj working capital, and in general put AEG on its 
feet again. Under National Socialism AEG finally succeeded 
in obtaining a .satisfactory division of spheres of influence 
with Siemens,, Since the outbreak of the war AEG has been able 
to absorb Gesfurel , formerly its second large stock ovaier. 

Bucher is a member of the directorates of Berliner Handels 
Gcsellschaft , I-Riupp , Mittelstahl , and Qsram , besides numerous 
AEG subsidiaries, and a member of the Armament <>ouncil in Speer’s 
Ministry. 

Johannes Vietmetter, of the Knorr Bremse AG , is a director 
of Gesfurel and the Deutsche Bank.

Licht und Kraft was organized in 1897 by circles connected 
with the Deutsche Br-jik for the purpose of exploiting the Siemens 
patents. There has always been a close connection with Siemens, 
vfhich was cemented by an agreement and exchanges of stock in 1928. 
L&K also ha.d aji agreement with the Siemens affiliate, Elek triz itats 
AG vorm, S ch uckert & Co. in ITurnberg, In recent years there have 
been shifts in the relation of the companies in favor of Siemens. 
Elektrizitats AG yorm, Sc hu cker t was merged into Siemens, In 
1943, in return for .participation in four manufacturing companies 
a.nd two public utilities, Siemens received backr.the shares in 
it held by Li cht u nd Kraft (RIvI 5 million), but kept its interest 
in L&K, which was last reported to be RM 16 million (32,2 percent).

ItG* Farbenindi-istrie Aktiengesellschaft 

i (Gruneburgplatz, Frankfurt a.Il) 

The history of IG Farben, the monster dye trust and 
largest of the German combines, goes back to the year 1904. 

There vrere at that tiiiie two leading groups in the Gerr.ian aniline ^ 

dye industry, v;hich then and until after the Uorld 'Jar, far j 

surpassed all other competitors, in any country. The first group 
v/as composed of: 

Badische ijnilin A Soda Fabrik (Ludvfigshafen) • 

Farbenfabrilcen vom. Fried. Bayer o: Co. (Lewerlcusen) , 

AG f. Anilin-Fabrikation (‘’Afga") (Berlin-Treptov/) ; 

i 

The second group was composed of: 

Farbwerke TTorm. Meister, Lucius (?: Bruning (llochst a.Il) 

(75 %) Leopold Cassells i: Co. GmbH (Frankfurt a.M.) | 

(99 %) Kalle t, Co. AG (Biebrich a.Rh.) 

Carl Duisberg and Carl Bosch were leading figures in the 
first group. Wilhelm Vc lieister, Carl a.nd Arthur v, A'einberg, 
and the Gans v/ere leading figures in .the second group. The 
total assets of both groups amounted to about 150 million PJI before 
the World Jar. In 1916 they formed an Inheressengemeinschaft dor 
deutschen Teerfarbenfabriken, v/hich the Chomische Fabrikcn vorm 
j‘cile'r-ter-liber (Uerdingon a.Idi.) joinedj and in the follov;ing 
ycar~Chomisclie~Fabrik Griesheira-Elektron (Frankfurt a.Il.) was 
brought into the group*^ These eight companies formed the nu¬ 
cleus of the dye trust, functioning in secret, v/ith very success¬ 
ful operations, until the year 19dG, uhon the combine v;as pub¬ 
licly organized. Thereafter the trust branched out into 
neighboring fields, acquiring properties producing chemically 
related products or rav/ materials, developing new chemical 
fields, securing and organizing foreign markets, and buttress¬ 
ing its position by investments in the fields of coal, lignite, 
copper, aluminum and other metals. It established fim rela¬ 
tions vrith the coal and iron interests a.nd the banks, consoli- | 
dated its vrorld position by collaboration agreements with foreign 
trusts; together with the big steel n.nd electrotechnical concerns 
it dominates German industry. 

The high spots of IG Rjrben’s history since 1926 have been: 

(1926) public union of the sight dye companies; acquisition 
of most of the important dynamite and explosives enterprises; 
acquisition of important lignite interests. 

(1927) Establishment of close relations v^ith the Norwegian r 
nitrogen concern; large-scale development of coal hydrogenation; 
patent agreements with Standard Oil of Nov;- Jersey. 

(1928) Consolidation of foreign investments; agreements 
v;ith French and Sv/iss dye trusts. 

(1929) Development of pharmaceutical branch; collaboration j 
agreement with British Iraperial Chemical Industries Ltd., in V 

the nitrogen field; closer collaboration v/ith Stcindard Oil of 
Nev/ Jersey in the field of petroleum, coal and tar hydrogenation. 

(1930) Founding of Italian dye concern; large-scale entry 
into field of artificial cloth; agreement with Chilean and 
Gcrm.an-English-Norvrcgian group, controlling more than 98 percent 
of the European and around 80 percent of the v/orld nitrogen 
production. 


4 






















(1931) Preoccupation v.dth financial problems arising 
from the depression; agreements v;ith Gorman Dutch, Italian, and 
Swiss artificial cloth concerns*- 

i 

(1932) Closer collaboration in the d^z-c fiold.vith Imperial 
Chemicals; nevr agreement with European nitrogen interests, 
bringing in the Svfiss and the Swedish* 

(1.933. to present) Concentra.tcd efforts to lesson CToniany’s 
dopondence on foreign markets by development of now chemical 
processes—--hydrogenation, artificial cloths, light metals, 
alloys, fertilizers, synthetic rubber, synthetic fuels and lubri¬ 
cants; meeting demands of the Four Year Plan and the war effort. 


I.G* Farbon’s proper production sphere includes: 

Aniline dyes and coal tar by-products 
Nitrogen fertilizer and other nitrogen products 
Inorganic and organic chemicals, and by-products 
Solution matei'ials 

S^mthetic rubber and other synthetic materials 
Vulcanizing materials and preservatives

In tho Stool Trust practically every rnontor of the beard 
of directors of tho managcinent is also a director cr officer of 
numerous other big concerns, Tho board of IG Farbon presents a 
marked contrast. Only ton of its forty-seven officers and 
diroctos in 1939 hold positions v/ith tho other big concerns, 
and only one, Eduard Hosier of tho Deutsche: Bank, M/as from tho 
outside. Its officials vrcre chemical figures, and its only 

outstanding connections v/ore v^rith its ovm. companies-Dynamit AG 

Motallgcsoll schaft, Ehcinstahl, and Ricbeck’sche lIontarT, Tliis 
general imprcssion may be corrected by .a gla.ncc at the~boards of 
Dyn cmit AG and the Kctallgosollschaft, vdiich are mooting places 
of all Gorman industry. Through PJioinstahl, IG Fcxrbon is ono of 
tho principal figures in the Stool Trust and tho coal industry.

VI. mom COAL ai^^d petroleum 


Lir-nite or brown coal is a substitute for bituminous, 
more easily rained but less economical for transport any {];reat 
d3 stance because of inferior heating quality (about 3.2 tons of 
brown coal providin£; the heat equivalent of 1 ton of bituminous), 
Germany was estimated to have produced about 57 million tons in 
1942. About 70 percent of German production was accounted for 
by a dozen firms, mostly ovmed by the steel interests, IG F arben 
and other chemical concerns, state-ovmed enterprises, and 
certain electrical power interests. The bir petroleum interests 
in Germany are Standard Oil, Shell, and a couple„of German 
rroups, Deutsche Erdol a -nd the new Kon tinentale 01. Deutsche 
Erdol, in default of much drilling; activity in Germany, also 
entered the brown coal field.

Kontinentale 01 AG* --Berlin 

In March, 1941 Kontinentale 01 v;as founded with an eye 
toward the oil fields in Eastern Europe, from Poland to the 
Caucasus, v;hich Germany expected to obtain in the vmke of her 
invading armies. The company vras called ”a model of a future 
organization of an enterprise.” It had an initial stock capital 
of 80,000,000 RM, which might be increased to 120,000,000 RIA. 

The controlling stockholders were a group of four large banks 
and German oil interests (including Deutsche Erdol AG, 

Wintershall AG , and the state-owne d Preussische Bergwerks- 
u,Hutton AG }. The company was not intended to play a com¬ 
petitive role in Germany or Austria proper, but v/as to function 
as a holding company for subsidiaries in Poland, Roumania 
and Russia, syphoning off the profits to the German banks 
and oil interests. 

At the end of its first year of operations the company had 
almost doubled its total assets (increase to RIvI 218,000,000) . 

The most notable increase was not in investments but in 
’’equipment" (PJvI 18 mill, to RM 87 mill.), indicating the great 
exertions made to utilize the eastern oil fields. In spite 
of these exertions, the exploitation of the eastern fields has 
not been as successful as was hoped for. Polish production, 
which used to be in the neighborhood of 600,000 tons per year, 
is nov/ estimated by many oil people to be about 400,000 tons. 
Roumanian production, which amounted to 8.7 million tons in 
1936, fell to 4.75 million in 1941, and was increased only 
about 10 percent, to 5.15 million in 1942. Drillings in 
Roumanirji were stepped up during this period from 37-60 percent.

The company hr.s a number of subsidiaries, but also controls 
or gri.atly influences certain concerns, such as the old 
Roumanian companies, by methods which are not fully known. 

The company expected to obtain stock holdings from French and 
Belgian interests. But the situation in Roumania is complicated 
by the fact that British investments were taken over by a 
Roumanian government custodian, and by regulations requiring 
majority control of local corporations to be in Roumanian 
hands. Roumania had 68 oil companies with a total stock capital 
in the neighborhood of 56 billion Lei, of which two-thirds, 
about 37 billion, viiis accounted for by four leading companies. 

Of these four companies three are under the Gorman influence 
of Kontinentale . The exception is Stcaua Romana . the capital of 
which is still supposedly in British, French and Roumanian 
bonds. The largest of the four big concerns, Astra Romana , 
v/as a Shell intcrostm now with majority control in Roumanian 
hands. The Nazis have secured access for a Quisling group 
(Engineer Rost von Tonningen) to represent the former Dutch 
interests. Kontinentale obtained control of the third big 
company, Co ncordia, by acquisition of stock from a Belgian 
holding compony. The fourth concern, Roiiiana-Amcrican a, 
was !^ormerly ovned by Standard Oil of Row Jersey.

For many years Def^ussa has .been the leading concern in the 
field of precious metals, and has also, chiefly for its oivn use, 
developed certain chemical branches, particularly in cyanides.and 
sodium. Thus connections viere built up with the firm of Henkel 
and Co, GmbH (Pusseldorf) and IG Farben , which purchased surplus 
quantities, IG Farben required cyanide and sodium salts in the 
manufacture of indigo, Degussals ov;n sphere of production, 
besides the refining of gold and silver, includes a variety of 
chemical products and the manufacture of special metal products 
such as precious-metal wire, dental instruments, dental metals, 
ceramic dyes, etc. Its stock-hordings extend to other chemical 
concerns, metal and metal-refining, platinum, glue, wax, leather, 
wood carbon, and an important company manufacturing special lamps,

Zinc Combines * 


German production of zinc was increased from 50,000 tons in 
1933 to over 200,000 tons in 1939, and has been about doubled since 
then through the annexation of Polish Upper Silesia. In view, 
of Germany's copper shortage, the production of zinc, which is in 
some measure a substitute, has been a vital task in the war economy. 
The commodity required is what is.knovm as fine zinc, an electrolytic 
product with a purcty content of 99,98 percent or better. In 1933 
a hundred tons of fine zinc was produced in Germany; in 1939, around 
100,000 tons. This output was supplied by three firms: 

(1) The electrolytic plant of the Giesc he concern in Magdeburg- 
Rothensee (around 60 percent); 

(2) The zinc^ smelters of the Unterharzer Berg-u, Hattenwerkc 
GmbH in Harlingerodc (belonging to Preussa g and Braun ¬ 
schweig GmbH ) ; 

(3) The Berz e liushutte in Duisburg -Wanheim (subsidiary of 
Me t a 1 1 ge 5 e 11 s cha ft AG), 


In 1933 the Reich Ministry of Economics entered the picture. 

In an effort to increase production, the Giesche concern received 
a bank credit of 15,000,000 RM, guaranteed by the state. Total 
capital -investment in the industry during the period 1933-39 
reached at least 100,000,000 RM, •since Gjescho's Erben, Unterharze r, 
and St olbcrger Zink AG alone invested 70,000,000 Rli. In the 
mearu'hile, on the PQlish side of the Silesian border, production was 
largely concentrated in three leading firms: 

(1) The Ho henlohe Herke AG (Petschek family); 

[2) ''SAG'*y Sghlesische AG fur 3crgbau-u. Zinkhuttenbetrich 

(French-Belgian). 

‘(5) T^e Polish Giesche AG (Anaconda Copper). 

Wlien Polish Silesia was overrun it was a simple task to bring 
the Polish companies into German hands. The Trustee for the Eastern 
Territories ( Haupttreuhandstelle Ost), who supervised all con¬ 
fiscated industries, was Max Winkler, an agent for the Goring 
combine in the distribution of mines and industrial undertakings. 
Friedrich Ernst, a partner of the banking firm of Delbruck Schickler, 
was named Enemy Property Commissioner. Civil administration of 
Polish Upper Silesia v;as entrusted to Otto Fitzner, a director

”aryaniz6d” by the Goring V/orks, which retained the coal interests 
of the company and disposed of the zinc mines and smelters to 
Giesche * s Erben and ”Schlesag'*—the Schlesische Bergwo rks-u.Hu tten AG . 
Schlesa g is a German concern owned by the Silesian count" Henkel v. 

Donnersmark, the Metallgesellschaft-.AG , Delbruck Schielder a,nd 
others. The second Polish company, SAG, was handed to Schl esag 
as trustee. The stockholders of Schl esag opened a caiiipaign against 
the French and Belgian stockholders to acquire the latter’s majority 
interests. Since SAG v;as an ’*enemy” company, premiums which were 
given to the Geman mills Virere v/ithheld, and it soon found itself 
operating at a loss. The Fj.ench and Belgian interests soJ,,d out to 
Henkel v. Donnersmark and a group of bankers led by Delbruck Schickl er. 
Immediately follovmng, the Reich Ministry of Economics restored all 
premiums retroactively to 1939, s •> that the nevj- company could carry 
on debt-free. 3 he third Polish concern, Giesche AG , presented 
certain difficulties since the majority \vas in American hands. 

A way out was devised by the organization of a new company, Giesche - 
Betriebe GmbH (Kattowitz), which tied together the German Giesche 
Erben and the Polish Giesche AG and controlled them both. The 
financial structure of the Giesche concern most likely resembles 
that of SAG while it was being administered '*in trust.” 

The two Upper Silesian firms, Giesche*s Erben and Schlesag, 
now account for more than 50 percent of Greater Germany’s zinc.

Stolberger Zink AG (Aachen) and AG des Altenbergs (Essen-Borbeck) ^ 
a former subsidiary of the Belgian Vieille Mo n tagne concern. 

Otto V-olff has the v/est and southwest German mines and receives

production of refined zinc is accounted for by Mete.llgesollschaft *s 
Ber zeli ush utte and the AG fur Zinkindustrie vorm. Tmlhom Grjllo,

VIII. Machinery 

Metal-ivorking rjid machinery is a less closely integrated 
field than most of the others. The heaviest production is ac¬ 
counted for by the subsidiaries of the big steel companies, the 
Goring combine, Siemens and AEG^ and the companies listed belov;, 
but there remains a place in the industry for many small and 
medium-sized firms, which, hovi^ever, are dependent on the big • 
companies for materials and competitively "follov/ the leader.''

^^Kurt von Schroder, a partner of the Stein banking firm 
in Koln, is one of the most powerful figures in Nazi financial 
cond industrial circles. As president of the board of directors 
of an Arbed company, he was doubtless in a position “to give the 
assurances which permitted the Arbed concern to be accepted 
into the German economy mthout a change of owners. Every other 
concern in the Lorraine-Luxembourg block of steel interests vfn.s 
expropriated by the Nazis and turned over to German companies. 

Kurt V, Schroder'is a trustee of the expropriated Thyssen interests 
for the Goring Combine, and a director of the following companies 
among others: Mlttelstahl (Flick), Ra rpenor (Flick), Dynrmit AG

Phrix-iTerko AG —Hamburg 

In the years follov/ing 1930, when the cell wool industry 
v/as getting under way on a largo scale, the Reich, IG Farbon, 
and textile circles all had especial interests in the new industry. 

Its financia.1 development has been largely a history of the sup¬ 
planting of textile interests by a banking group, with control 
cen'^red in the hands of Kehrl rather than Dierig. Christian Die rig 
is one of the oldest and largest textile concerns. Through 
Textil-Trouhand G mbH, Dierig had control of Schlesische ZelJ.wolle, 
an important regional undertaking that was one of the major companies 
in the Phrix combine— Phrix GmbH . In 1941 Phrix applied to the 
banks for a loan for expansion purposes. The loan was refused. Dierig 
was forced to surrender majority ovaiership to Kehrl; the bank loan 
was obtained; Phrix-Gmb H was reorganized as a stock corporation, 
Phrix-lHerke AG . Phrix-h'erke AG is the largest producer of cell wool 
on the continent, now branching out into the field of pure chemistry 
and mining. It has a tight financial structure—all pf^the Shares., 
being non-nogotlablo’ ( Namons a ktieh‘ )--ahd ' pretty^ 1 argely controls the 
entire industry outside of IG Farben . Kehrl is also chairman of 
the board of its competitor, Thuringischc Zollwolle ; and its largest 
competitor, Vereinig te Glanzstoff , is o-'Aned by the Dutch AKU , in which, 
in turn, Phrix47erke AG has an interest. Recently, through license 
agreements, Phrix has obtrined a foothold in the Swedish and 
Spanish cell wool industries. 

Hans Kehrl is a key man in the Nazi economy, along with Pleiger 
of the Goring Combine, Kurt v. Schroder, and Friedrich Flick. He 
serves as a director with several of the G^^ring Combine -subsidiiaries, 
and is head of the department entitled '*Raw Llatoriala Control" in 
Speer’s I^Iinistry for Armaments and u'ar Production as well as head 
of the Plruining Office under Speer as Commissioner General for 
Armaments (Four Year Plan).

the largest lager beer brewary in the world. Bounded in 1842, 
it became a corporation in 1871, and from that date to 1930 expanded 
steadily by absorbing other breweries and investing ingrain mills, 
cement companies, a yeast company, a bank, and other undertakings. 

In 1930-32 the concern’s over-expansion became evident, and a. 
program of drastic financial reorganization was undertaken, the 
result of which was that the company came into the hands of the 
banks and a substantial part of its investments vaaa unloaded. 

On May 1st, 1938, the Schultheiss Brewery was for the second

extensively both for their ovm accoimt ajid for customers. It v/as 
customary, moreover, for stockholders to loa\’'e their securities 
on deposit vdth the banks, and the banks, vdien authorized, were 
allowed to exercise the voting rights of stock deposited with .them. 
Fropi these 'circumstances, representatives of the big brjiks sat on 
hundreds of directorcttos, and wore the controlling owners of mrjiy 
enterprises. At the same time, the ropresentcition of hea.vy 
industry on the diroctora.tos of the bankt xs so strong that it is

The limited-liability comprjiy (Om bH-Gescllschaft mit b cGchra enktcr 
Haftun g) is an intermediri.tc typo of org-'nization betv;Gcn the partner¬ 
ship and the stock corporation. It is like the stock corporation in¬ 
sofar as it is not primarily a personal-liability forra of company; 
but it rmiy be org;\nized more informally than the stock corporation. 

The head of the comapny is a manager (Goschaeftsfuehrer), Vvho may 
or may not be assisted b 3 ?- a board of directors appointed by the 
shareholders. In the po^st this type of compariy v/as considered ap¬ 
propriate for small and medium-sized enterprises, family comprnies, 
c.nd the like. It was considered a 'Miscrcot” type of org.jiization, 
enjoying the advantage of not having to publish balance sheets and 
annual reports. For this rea.son, when an enterprise had to rely 
upon outside capitol, tliere wore e dvantages in the stock corporation 
(A kticngesclls chaft) form, since the publicity gave g rcater reassurance 
to creditors eaid stockholders. The stock corporation form v/as con¬ 
sidered particulovrly appropriate for large enterprises. Ti^ore v/ero 
times in the past v/hen the GmbH form was looked upon with some 
suspicion; in 1392, however, provision for the GmbH leas made in . 
German lav/, --uid since then the form has been widely adopted. At 
the end of 1942 the number of GmbH’s compared v/ith stock corporation 
as follows: 


'otal number 

Total capital 

Avoraae capit/l 

GmbH’s 



23,498 

RI.I 7,319,000,000 

PuM 311,000 

..G’s 

5,404 

-MI 39,061,000,000 

RM 5,078,000 


Th-t the GmbH is still primarily a form for small enterprises 
is indicated by the fact that 92 percent of tlic.m have cr.pitulizations 
of less than Rli 500,000. 856 had capitalizations botv/enn one and 
five mdllion Reichsmark, v/hich is largo for the t^/pc; 155 had 
capit/Jizations betwO'..n five and twenty million Reichsmark; 31 had 
capitaliz...tions of over twenty million Reichsmark, v/hich put them 
into the class of th'. girjit corporations. One of the most interesting 
dcvelopracnt^ oX‘ re,;Cvnt yef.rs has been thr.t an increasing; nuiab'^.r of 
large corporations are reorganizing as GmbH's, For cxccmplc, the 
Hcnschcl locomotive works. Flick' - tt oldeutsc he,Stahlwx rke, Schaff-

is to avoid ivublicity, it will become imparativo for GmbH’s v/ith a 
capitali.oT over RIl 500,000 to submit to publicity requirements.
